BuddyPress.org

Hello,

I am using WordPress 6.5.2 and BuddyPress 12.4

I would like to know how I can remove the “username” field in the registration form.
I see there has been A a lot of requests for this in the past but no solution. It makes so much more sense to just use the email address to log in rather than force-having a username of which your preferred one may be taken. An email address is unique already.

Is there a way to PLEASE remove the Username field?

Also I really do not like that the BuddyPress registration page has an “account” section with the username, email address and password and a separate “profile” section with the name in it. Unfortunately, after testing every single plugin on the market (I am only testing so not investing money on paid plugins right now), buddypress is the only one that has the features I need, even though it has major downfalls too. One of these downfalls is the annoying compulsory use of a “username” section in the registration form. In the back end, the default registration field cannot even be deleted.

Is it possible to have a 100% custom registration form with BuddyPress? All I want is something like:

Fist Name
Last Name
Email address
Password
Repeat Password

And have a separate profile section once the user logs in using their registered email address.

Thank you
